Setting an etching press to print intaglio or relief

Learn how to set an etching press to print intaglio plates (etchings, drypoint prints, aquatints and the like) and relief plates (woodcuts and linocuts). In the third section, I demonstrate how you can make custom runners from recycled cardboard to print non-standard relief plates.

Usually I prefer such type of videos without music in the background. But here it is the opposite.

Thank you for the clear informative vid! Would you please tell me what is the brand of the press? And what is the size?

[@SpinesAndSplines]

Hi, my etching press is from Neil Wallace Printmaking Supplies in Australia. They only ship presses within Australia. The bed size is big enough to fit a full 56x76cm sheet of paper.

nice work from where can buy like this machine

[@SpinesAndSplines]

Hi, this particular etching press is from Neil Wallace Printmaking Supplies in Australia, and can only be purchased in Australia. There are different brands of etching press available in different parts of the world though, and they all pretty much work the same way, so you may be able to find something local to you by searching online.
